New member Username: El_daveBerkeley, California USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-06 | Hi everyone, This is my first post to these forums, so go easy on me (please). I have a Yamaha HTR-5550 receiver I inherited from my parents after they upgraded to a better one. I'm a relatively poor college student that would like to put together a home audio system for my room (not a very large room as you might imagine) on a budget. A very tight budget, unfortunately. If you have any suggestions for which speakers I could use to accompany my new receiver, I would greatly appreciate your input. The main purpose of this system is listening to music (from my computer and a cd player), mostly rock, hip-hop/rap, and electronic music. Thanks for your input! |

These speakers are incredible at their price point and you won't need a sub to get decent bass out of them. That said, given the music you're listening to these may not be to your liking. The other option would be to listen to some cheaper floorstanders, such as the Athenas. Check on eBay or do a google on them. Good luck. |
